Move to the next room to do something = near guarantee of instant amnesia of what I was going to do. DUUUUR what did I come in here for??Go back into the other room = OH YEAH! I needed to get the thing!Go back to the next room with the thing in it = DUUUUR what did I come in here for??

My first parole officer was the same way. He was mellow. Then Mrs. Whips and chains came in. I don't have a point here, but I'd rather deal with a mellow fellow all day long than some rule abiding nazi.

Mitch Mitchell:phrawgh: I can never remember the meetings with my parole officer.

Maybe next time you'll think twice before urinating in the park late at night when (almost) no one is there to see it, then!

FTA: "researchers have invented a new malaise to describe this type of memory loss - Busy Lifestyle Syndrome (BLS)."

Will someone please, for the good of humanity, round up all the researchers, put them in a fenced in area, at the bottom of a deep pit, on an island, in some remote body of water, take away all their climbing rope, then claim to suffer from BLS so as to never to be able to locate the researchers again?(they can have LCD tvs though to watch CNN)If one climbs out, that's cool. At least they can be tracked easily. The rest can stay there with their busy lifestyles and other worthless studies.

And while we are at it, send everyone from MSNBC and FOX there too because they seem incapable of not reporting this crap......and throw in Ann Curry..........and Matt Lauer just for good measure.

It sounds to me like someone has observed normal distraction and forgetfulness, diagnosed it as if it were the forgetfulness that is an early symptom of Alzheimer's then put together a study to justify selling a new drug to the masses.

Of course, without a closer examination of the study I couldn't say for certain, but I do remain quite sceptical. Particularly as the conclusion states it as a new issue that didn't exist before but there don't appear to be any historical studies for comparison.

Probably has something to do with the amount of alcohol and weed I consume. Having a drink now, about to go smoke out in the garage. Don't look at me like that, I just pulled a 12 hour shift. It's like 5:00 in the afternoon for me.

In our house it's called, "Mama Syndrome," because I can remember the most useless trivia with damn near instant recall. But, something of any importance, like what is the name of that child standing in front of me, expecting breakfast, and I am off in the wilderness.

But I grew up, being called a combination of the first few letters of every older kid's name. Hey, BoMaJaKaUhYou, come here! It must be genetic.

I'd argue exactly the opposite -- thanks to technology I don't have to remember anyone's phone numbers, my bank's website fills in the account numbers automatically and I only have to click in a search box and type "Sha" before it autofills with "Shaved Asian lesbians wrestling in a plexiglass tub of butterscotch pudding," even if it took a disturbingly long time to push "Sha Na Na" down the results list.

But, if nothing else, this article at least prepares us for the next round of MommyBlogs

enjoy easy recall while you can. you may age and you will decay. you may get put on meds that will really piss you off as memory falls out your ear and runs out the door. nothing lasts forever. not even a Volvo.
